Caroline has decided to help the less fortunate. By taking up public speaking.

Caroline has begun a health food blog advising her readership on how to be as thin as she is - by avoiding clogging up their intestines with anything as disgusting as food.

In this the 7th series of 'How Does that Make You Feel?' Martha's clients have made few changes to their circumstances. 

Caroline is mildly disturbed by the fact that her recently returned husband is building a guillotine in the spare room. However she hasn't yet figured out what he might want to use it for. Meanwhile her blog on how to stay thin and be successful, which largely involves eating kale and shaved cardboard clippings, seems to be gaining a growing readership. Caroline's philosophy is that if people want to pay her be told how to eat rubbish in the deluded belief that its doing them some good, then who is she to deny them the recipes...

Shelagh Stephenson is the author of 'A Short History of Longing' and 'Guests Are Like Fish', recently heard on Radio 4. She is an Olivier Award winner for her play 'The Memory of Water' and has won Sony and Writer's Guild awards for her plays 'Darling Peidi' and 'Five Kinds of Silence'. She wrote Enid (the life of Enid Blyton) for BBC4 and Shirley (the Shirley Bassey story) for BBC2. She is currently writing, new plays for Hampstead Theatre and Live Theatre in Newcastle, a number of feature films and a TV series for BBC 1.
